Cervical dysplasia
Between normal tissue and cancerous tissue

The original text describes gradual progression over about 7–10 years and stresses treatment and prevention because it can progress to cervical cancer.

What is cervical dysplasia?

HPV, which can cause cervical cancer, leads to abnormal changes in cervical cells and tissue. The page describes this as an intermediate stage between normal and cancerous tissue.

Cervical dysplasia caused by HPV

It is also known as a precancerous cervical lesion and occurs at the entrance to the uterus.

UterusCervixVagina

Cause

It is mainly caused by HPV infection.

Symptoms

There are usually no specific symptoms, so it is often discovered during cervical cancer screening.

It occurs where cells from the inner cervix meet the outer cervical cells.

Severe

Diagnosing cervical dysplasia

Cervical cancer test

Atypical epithelial cell changes

This refers to cells whose appearance is not normal but for which a definite abnormality is difficult to establish.

Additional tests

Liquid-based cytology · HPV testing · colposcopy

Biopsy

When high-risk HPV is found, the source describes colposcopy followed by biopsy to determine the grade of cervical dysplasia.

Colposcopy-guided precision laser treatment

After grading the dysplasia, two advanced devices are used to precisely ablate only the affected area.

Follow-up testing

The original text describes follow-up at six-month intervals when low-risk HPV is found or the test is negative.

Treating cervical dysplasia

The source describes colposcopy-guided precision laser treatment to destroy dysplasia without damaging the cervix.

Colposcope

질 확대경

A colposcope from the German optics company Zeiss, described as having a 170-year history.High-quality optics magnify difficult-to-see areas up to 30 times, providing clear, precise images to assess cervical lesions.

CO₂ Laser

CO₂ 레이저 장비

Advanced AcuPulse laser technology from Lumenis CO₂ Laserenables precise treatment.The source states that delicate treatment can preserve cervical volume and structure without damaging surrounding tissue.

  • Performed under sedation without general anesthesia
  • Short procedure: 30 minutes–1 hour
  • Return to daily activities after about 4–5 hours of rest
  • Minimal pain and bleeding
  • Excellent effects on dysplasia

No cervical damage!
No change in cervical volume!
No change in cervical length!

For safe treatment: colposcopy-guided precision laser care

No scars! No resection! Safety first!

Delicate treatment should consider cervical characteristics and avoid damage to surrounding tissue.Colposcopemagnifies hard-to-see areas up to 30 times to identify cervical lesions accurately, followed by CO₂ Laserprecise ablation of dysplasia without cervical damage.

The source states that cervical volume and length remain intact.The source presents this as a treatment different from conventional dysplasia treatments.

Does cervical cancer vaccination help prevent dysplasia?

The cervix plays an important role in pregnancy and childbirth, making ongoing care and disease prevention important.The original text cites HPV prevalence of about 80% among Korean women aged 30 and above.Persistent HPV infection may lead to cervical cancer, so continued care is important.Vaccination can help prevent cervical dysplasia and cancer.

Safety systems at 안산부인과 (AHN Gynecology)

1. Air filtration system

HEPA filtration is used to help prevent infection through airborne bacteria.Careful management extends to areas that cannot be seen.

2. Backup power system

Backup power is installed to support safe surgery during an unexpected power outage.

3. Sterilization and disinfection

Daily sterilization and disinfection management uses a university-hospital-level system to minimize infection, inflammation and adverse effects.

4. Continuous anesthetic delivery device

Controlled medication dosing supports safe sedation.

5. Real-time monitoring and emergency preparedness

Equipment monitors breathing, electrocardiogram, blood oxygen saturation and overall changes to support responses to situations during surgery.
